<p>This is not interesting or startling news, just so weird…
</p>
<p>Not really weird to me. They have both survived unsolved high profile cases involving the death/disappearance of their daughters. They have a lot in common. There are not many people with their unique histories and they can share that common ground and hopefully have some happiness in their lives however they can find it.</p>
<p>omg dear god. I hope they don’t talk about their daughters. </p>
<p>What ever happened to those cases, one it seems like a ghost murdered her and the other well, she just disappeared.</p>
<p>My mom lived in aruba for a while, she said that they might of thrown her into the ocean and the sharks got to her.</p>
<p>:-( it’s sad, I wish she would of never gotten in the car with those strange boys.</p>
<p>I read about that yesterday and I didn’t find it weird either. There are, thankfully, few individuals who could truly understand what each of them has been through. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they have talked extensively to each other about their daughters. This is absolutely normal and part of living and coping with tragedies such as this.The fact that they found each other, and are obviously able to provide each other some comfort, is nice.</p>
<p>Maybe I missed something along the way, but what happened to 2nd husband Twitty? He seemed incredibly supportive and completely immersed in the search effort via all the media interviews.</p>
<p>GoBlueAlumMom, the article I read said that they separated last year.</p>
<p>I also do not find this weird at all. Many people who have endured tragedies attend support groups comprised of others who have been through something similar and who can understand their lives. They find comfort and support in that way. So, in that same vein, finding a partner who has been in a similar situation would be a source of comfort and support. The feeling that the other person truly understands what it is like is signficant. I did not realize that Natalee’s mom wasn’t with her husband anymore until I read this thread (not that I follow her life). While nothing can diminish their unimaginable pain, I hope they find a shread of happiness in having a person to love who understands their sorrow.</p>
<p>George “Jug” Twitty has filed divorce papers in Alabama two weeks after he separated from Beth Twitty, mother of Natalee Holloway, who disappeared in Aruba in May 2005. The couple married July 26, 2000, it was the second marriage for both.
In the divorce papers, Jug Twitty said the couple had separated Dec. 15 and they have “such a complete incompatibility of temperament that the parties can no longer live together.” He would make no further comment when asked by reporters.</p>
<p>One of my college roommates re-met his wife (who had been a business school classmate) at a support group for people whose spouses had died. Both of them lost their first spouse to cancer at age 32. There’s no question the loss they shared (and very few of their contemporaries had gone through) drew them together intially.</p>
<p>I will admit that when I used the word ‘weird’ I really meant “what are the chances” kind of thing. (like, how unusual, rather than how bizarre).</p>
<p>Although Fox says John and Beth date, hold hands and kiss a lot, John denied they were dating Monday to Ch. 9’s Paula Woodward. “The tabloid rumors are totally exaggerated,” said John. “I have great respect for Beth and how she’s handled her terrible situation. We’ve developed a friendship of respect and admiration.”</p>
<p>Does anybody really believe anything they hear on Fox News? I am shocked people are quoting Fox News.</p>
